[nfbcs] Help with website making decision?

[Nicole Torcolini]

If you hire someone, you first need to make sure that he/she knows what
he/she is doing and second you need to make sure that that person is not
gaining unauthorized access to your site after the site is built. If this is
something that you might do again, then it might be worth investing the time
to learn how to build a website from scratch; there are plenty of tutorials
on line for HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

Hi all, since there has been allot of talk on here about website building
and such I have a question. I want to create a membership site for guitar
lessons. Now, I am not sure where to go here. I want a blog section for
myself, a forum for the paying members of the site, and a place where the
member can view the lessons. Now, I know I can do all of this with word
press and a few plug ins that will cost me around $200 or so, but I would
need someone to help me set up themes and such to make it look good. Or, I
could have someone build the site for me from scratch however this is going
to cost much much more than $200 lol. So what are the pros and cons of both?
I would probably use A member pro for the word press plug in because I know
it is useable with jaws. But if people are providing there credit cards to
me for the subscription to the site, how secure is word press? Or is there a
way I can keep the credit cards somewhere else other than the server itself?
If someone were to build the site from scratch, would it be more secure?
Faster loading times? Any help here would be great. I know people that have
an online membership site that they are running with word press so just
thought I would ask to see what the best way I should go about doing this
is.
